Just now, she was appointed by Jiang Hang as the "Promotion Ambassador" of the Mihua Art Museum. Jiang Hang felt that this job would be very suitable for her, who has the potential for high-level interpersonal communication and leadership skills.
Yoshino Koharu also went from being Jiang Hang's little assistant to a "regional governor" in a daze, but judging from her current appearance, she seems quite ambitious.
Of course, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't be left out either. Although she hasn't officially debuted as a voice actress yet, Jiang Hang has given her the title of "image ambassador" for the Beika Art Museum and an in-house announcer.
The two girls are now enthusiastically discussing the future development of the art museum.
Jiang Hang didn't say anything to spoil the mood.
He knew very well that the enthusiasm of these visitors was just temporary and would only last for about a week at most.
Once the hype dies down, the Mika Art Museum will likely return to its previous stagnant state, since ultimately it's just a small art museum with no particularly valuable collections.
Thinking this way, Jiang Hang originally planned to take a stroll outside the art museum, in order to avoid any thieves or pickpockets sneaking in.
However, to his surprise, he spotted an acquaintance in the crowd shortly after he arrived outside the art museum.
It's Ran Mouri and Conan.
Why is Conan, the Grim Reaper, here again?
Jiang Hang felt a little nervous. Although the places where people had died in Conan's movies were unlikely to see repeated deaths like the ones in the neighboring movies, what if something unexpected happened on his side?
However, since he saw Ran Mouri coming over, Jiang Hang still went over to greet her.
Only after getting closer did Jiang Hang notice that there were other people beside the other person.
Looking at the girl next to Ran Mouri wearing a headband, Jiang Hang could easily recognize her at a glance.
Ran Mouri's best friend, Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Foundation.
"Miss Mori, Conan, have you visited the art museum again?"
Ran Mouri was surprised to see Jiang Hang walking over: "Mr. Jiang Hang, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you at the art museum again."
She explained to Jiang Hang why she had come. It turned out that she was just a supporting character this time. She had been dragged along by her friend Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan had come along as well.
As she said this, she introduced Suzuki Sonoko to Jiang Hang.
As for Kogoro Mouri, according to Ran Mouri, her father has been investigating since yesterday after receiving a request from a client to find his father, so he couldn't come this time.
Jiang Hang wanted to tell Ran Mouri that he was quite good at finding people if needed, but Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to Ran Mouri, suddenly exclaimed.
"You're Jiang Hang, the new owner of the Mihua Art Museum?"
Seeing Ran Mouri and Conan looking somewhat shocked by Sonoko Suzuki's words, Jiang Hang waved his hand.
"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with me, but the art museum is indeed under my name now. Sonoko Suzuki... is this lady the heiress of the Suzuki Group?" He explained, then looked at Sonoko Suzuki.
It's not surprising that Sonoko Suzuki recognized him; after all, the Suzuki Group is a leading conglomerate in Japan that has lasted for decades. It would be strange if she didn't know his background.
Based on Ran Mouri's explanation, it seems she came to the art museum specifically because of me?
Feeling Sonoko Suzuki's gaze rapidly scrutinizing him, Jiang Hang seemed to even hear her muttering under her breath.
"She's pretty good-looking, but not my type... What a pity, I should have sent my sister over..."
Considering Sonoko Suzuki's "fangirl" tendencies, Jiang Hang felt that it was actually a good thing that she didn't fancy him.
After muttering to herself, Sonoko Suzuki's expression became much more serious, no longer showing any signs of infatuation.
She took out an exquisite invitation from her purse and solemnly handed it to Jiang Hang.
"This is an invitation letter that my father, Shiro Suzuki, asked me to give to you, Mr. Jiang Hang. Please accept it."
"Shirou?" Jiang Hang paused for a moment upon hearing the familiar pronunciation of the name, and subconsciously blurted out, "Your father was also a champion of justice?"
After learning that the other person's name was only similar in pronunciation to that of the righteous ally, but the spelling was different, Jiang Hang wiped his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said that he had just remembered it wrong, and changed the topic back to the invitation.
In short, the invitation from the current chairman of the Suzuki Group was an unexpected surprise for Jiang Hang.
As the chairman of a large conglomerate, the Suzuki Group has actually collected a considerable number of precious treasures, but most of the time, the Suzuki Group does not display them.
The invitation from Shiro Suzuki was for an exhibition of treasures from the Suzuki family's collection that he planned to hold soon, and he wanted to invite Jiang Hang to the Suzuki family home for more detailed discussions.
Jiang Hang was somewhat surprised after seeing the invitation.
The Suzuki Foundation's desire to hold a treasure exhibition is sure to generate a lot of buzz, and there's no way they'll lack a venue. If word gets out that they're going to hold the exhibition at the Beika Art Museum, Jiang Hang won't have to worry about the museum's visitor numbers for at least the next few months!
I never expected that Suzuki Shiro would send me such a big gift when I had never even met him.
Jiang Hang could certainly understand that Suzuki Shiro was doing this entirely to express goodwill to him, or rather, to the foundation that served as the backdrop behind him.
It's worth noting that Jiang Hang was previously trying to figure out how to upgrade his industry.
After all, according to the system's explanation, two important conditions need to be met to upgrade the industry level: brand awareness and customer satisfaction.
If these two values do not meet the system requirements, no matter how much money is spent, the industry level will not be upgraded.
Therefore, he could not refuse this generous gift from the Suzuki family.
After glancing at the invitation letter from Suzuki Shiro, which stated that it was for three days from now, Jiang Hang directly told Suzuki Sonoko that he would visit the Suzuki family on time.
Chapter 57: Conan, you're something else!
Out of curiosity about Conan, and having not seen him for a few days, Jiang Hang casually asked Ran Mouri if their agency had encountered any cases in the past few days.
Jiang Hang had originally thought that since he had stolen Conan's spotlight these past few days, Conan should be able to keep quiet for a while.
To Jiang Hang's surprise, Conan's death-bringing nature was indeed still fierce. Even without the Moon Shadow Island case, he still caused deaths wherever he went.
Jiang Hang went to Moonshadow Island for three days and then came back for two more days. In just five days, he "accidentally" encountered two murder cases!
Of course, the result was always the same: "Sleeping Kogoro" successfully solved the mystery and found the real culprit.
Seeing even Ran Mouri's face show a hint of helplessness, Jiang Hang could only sigh inwardly.
You're something else, Conan.
While Jiang Hang marveled at Conan's undiminished skills, Conan actually admired Jiang Hang quite a bit as well.
He had just tentatively inquired where Jiang Hang had gone a few days ago, and after learning that Jiang Hang had gone to Moonshadow Island on a business trip, he confirmed his guess.
He knew about the arrest of the drug dealers on Moonshadow Island a few days ago. Although Jiang Hang's name did not appear in the news, Conan was certain that Jiang Hang played a crucial role here.
Unaware of Jiang Hang's heroic act of being forced to threaten the culprit with a sword and staff on Moonshadow Island by a coded musical score, Conan once again raised his opinion of Jiang Hang.
I really hope I can turn back into my original body soon so I can have a fair and square competition with you!
This is Conan's thought at this moment after learning that Jiang Hang had solved another major case.
Conan, please, please hold back and don't do anything near my art museum. If you really cause another murder here, my art museum is really doomed!
This is Jiang Hang's thought after learning that Conan has encountered two more murder cases.
As expected, the two of them never think in the same direction.
After finally getting rid of this Grim Reaper, nothing unusual happened at the art museum.
Jiang Hang breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his office inside the art museum.
He never expected that the "Shirobako Five," whom he had been thinking about for so long, would actually appear in front of him.
When he entered the office, he saw Yoshino Kiharu and Aoi Miyamori looking at each other in surprise, as if they were amazed at how similar they looked.
Jiang Hang had no doubt that if he let them chat for a while longer, these two girls, whose personalities were remarkably similar, would actually put on a show of becoming sworn sisters right in front of him.
Upon seeing Jiang Hang arrive, the four girls, introduced by Shizuka Sakaki, greeted him with curiosity.
The absolute core of the group of five: the energetic girl and Musashino racer Aoi Kamiyamori, the black-haired twin-tailed animator Ema Yasuhara, the literary girl Midori Imai whose name contains the character "green," and the last short-haired girl... He really couldn't remember her name, only that she didn't have much presence in the anime, and that she seemed to work in a CG company making tires in the story, so he just remembered her as "making tires."
It wasn't until after Shizuka Sakaki finished her introduction that he remembered her name was Misa Todo.
According to Shizuka Sakaki, it was because it was a day off, and they had learned from her that Jiang Hang had bought the art museum, so they all wanted to come and see what this super rich boss was like.
At their first meeting, the group seemed a little reserved. Jiang Hang, however, already knew them and that they were a group of girls who loved anime. So, to break the ice, he took the initiative to ask them about anime.
Sure enough, when the topic of the industry came up, the girls who were already working in the animation industry had endless things to say.
After learning that Jiang Hang planned to acquire or invest in an animation company to produce his own animations, the girls all expressed their amazement.
After all, they are all girls who are working hard for their dreams. To put it simply, the phrase "working hard for their dreams" is actually equivalent to having no money.
Investing in animation companies to produce animation is something that seems too far-fetched for them right now.
"I still have high hopes for you guys. I know Musashino Animation. Although it hasn't released any new independent works for many years, I've heard that your company seems to have a new project recently. We should be able to see a new work from Musashino Animation next year, right?"
"Hey, Detective, are you so well-informed? I only found out about this a few days ago," Miyamori Aoi addressed Jiang Hang as "Detective," a title that was quite novel to Jiang Hang.
“After all, I’m a detective, and I’ve been keeping an eye on things in the industry,” Jiang Hang said, of course not revealing that he learned about Musashino from the anime. Instead, he continued to inquire about things in the industry.
To be honest, although he had always thought about acquiring an animation company to make animations specifically for him, he was only a dabbler before he transmigrated. His understanding of the Japanese animation industry was limited to what a certain scoundrel had said: "The Japanese animation industry can only last for five more years at most," and the animations that described the industry.
However, these people are only new to the industry and don't know much about the inside story of the animation industry. Even so, Jiang Hang felt that the industry was really in a slump.
Those animation companies that are sponsored by big names are doing relatively well. But for animation companies like Musashino Animation, which don't have any backers and haven't released any new works for years, relying entirely on outsourcing work from other animation companies to make a living, it's questionable whether Musashino Animation's 30-year-old brand can continue to exist if it doesn't release an independent work to fight for survival.
Listening to Miyamori Aoi's complaints, Jiang Hang silently kept the news in mind. He didn't have much money right now, but after a while, he planned to go to Musashino Animation to take a look.
Putting aside the acquisition, there should still be a chance to invest and become a minority shareholder.
After chatting with a few girls about industry matters for a while, Shizuka Sakaki took them to visit an art museum, while Jiang Hang prepared to continue slacking off in the office.
However, as soon as he turned around, he noticed that there was a young girl standing behind him.
"Imai-kun, why didn't you go out with Sakaki and the others? There are a lot of forks in the road at the art museum. If they go too far, you might not be able to catch up." Jiang Hang looked at the other person with some curiosity. Standing in the same spot was Imai Midori, the literary girl in charge of scriptwriting in the group of five.
However, after hearing Jiang Hang's words, Imai Midori seemed a little embarrassed.
"Um... I'm a literature major, and my goal is to become a screenwriter. I heard from Shizuka-senpai that you, Detective, are an incredibly skilled detective who solved several cases in just half a month..." Midori Imai nervously fidgeted with her fingers. "So, I'd like to try adapting and creating a screenplay based on the cases you've solved, Detective. I hope, I hope you'll agree!"
After explaining her thoughts, Imai Midori bowed deeply to Jiang Hang.
Chapter 58: Let's set another small goal, let's earn a billion first.
"Cough cough..." Jiang Hang couldn't help but choke a few times upon hearing Imai Midori's sudden request.
"Well, I'm just a rookie detective who's only been in the business for less than a month. It's a bit too early for you to be writing scripts for me. How about I tell you some other interesting stories, like the story of a man who is more idealistic than anyone else, and therefore more desperate than anyone else?"
"Or I can tell you a dark fairy tale about magical girls. I have a lot of more interesting stories here, much more interesting than my case. Are you sure you don't want to hear them?"
After hearing the two stories Jiang Hang told her, Imai Midori's eyes lit up, as if she was very interested in these two stories that she had never heard before. However, after a moment's hesitation, she firmly shook her head.
"I think it must be a great story for the detective to tell it. But I'll have to hear those stories from you in the future. Right now, I really want to know more about you!"
